The Transfer Tavern

Real Madrid move could prompt Chelsea into landing formidable star

With their beloved Blues closing in on a fifth Premier League title, the Chelsea supporters propping up the bar in the Transfer Tavern are in high spirits.

Antonio Conte’s side look wonderfully dominant and our west London locals already toasting a title win, though reports from the Sun have sparked some interest today.

They claim the Stamford Bridge giants could be involved in a goalkeeping merry-go-round this summer. Real Madrid could reportedly target Thibaut Courtois should David De Gea remain with Manchester United this summer.

With that in mind, Chelsea are understood to be ready to move for Atletico Madrid stopper Jan Oblak if they lose the Belgian. Oblak has emerged as one of the finest ‘keepers in football over the past few seasons, ironically since replacing Courtios for Los Rojiblancos.

The Slovenian shot-stopper would be a popular signing amongst our resident Chelsea fans, even though they’d be gutted to see Coutrois depart following his return to form this season.
